Apprenticeship: Aligning Educational Incentives

Computer science education is a hot field, and rightly so. Even with the economy reeling, experienced computer scientists work two and three jobs to keep up with demand. According to the laws of Developernomics:

[T]he only thing potentially more valuable than a relationship with a great developer is a relationship with a survivalist who is good with things like guns, bunkers and cabins in woods

Barring a major catastrophe (and perhaps in spite of it), computer scientists will continue to demand a premium as technology reinvents entire sectors. No matter how staunchly opposed to a technological revolution, the realms of government, higher education, and even farming will eventually feel the touch of this steampunk Midas.
